Gravel season ends 1st September… dirt gives way to mud.

[@benjaminlechappers]

I like this I’m stealing it. 😂

[@Ecoroof1986]

Well done thats a superb time. The wife and i did the same route. The water wading was fun as were the muddy fields. Probably the dirtiest my bike has ever been. We did 4 Glorious gravel events this year. Definitely more next year. Hopefully see you on some.

[@stevenfreeman7798]

Great to see you compete on a mountain bike!!.

[@benjaminlechappers]

Thanks!

[@darrelljones6864]

Well done Ben, great effort, school boy error with the rear wheel not being tubeless

[@benjaminlechappers]

Yes the tubeless would have sorted the thorn instantly

[@michaelbuckley7794]

I rode it on my road bike with CC Tyres on.
One of the hardest rides I’ve ever done due to proper poor bike choice. Proper challenge! After the swim I was pretty done and still had 47k or whatever to go

[@nathanmcginty5755]

Was that Crookford with the puddle? It does get a little damp. Its a good fast route, thinking of doing it in march.

How bad must the original route have to be for them to keep that underwater section?! You did well to keep going, I have to say wading through waist high water on a chilly autumn day cannot be pleasant esp with most of the ride left to do.

[@benjaminlechappers]

Yes. I couldn’t have put it better myself. But all good fun.

[@jamescoulter8413]

Pack those bags Ben 😄 But you should come to UKCE Cambridgeshire classic on 2nd March for some early season miles. Flat (well compared to Durham) and always windy!

[@benjaminlechappers]

Sounds great! 🥵

[@jamescoulter8413]

I may have undersold it 😂.

[@Greg.Sutton]

Well looking at the state of that course boy am i glad i scratched.
That "wet hike a bike" would have proper p****d me off.
Oh yeah..... pack your bags
Plenty of time to ride in the UK later in life but we are only capable of epic adventures for so long.

[@benjaminlechappers]
